Chaotic Neutral AppearancePersonalityHistoryRelationshipsRumorsStoriesMusicOOCCredit Error creating thumbnail: File missing While mostly resembling her mother both in appearance and cultural identity, Arko towers over her petite mother while preserving the delicate structure common in midlanders. She keeps her dark hair long with the appearance of unkemptness; however, the disheveled look is entirely calculated to align with her desired aesthetic. She is fond of gold hues and, similar to her maternal family from the Yanxian highlands, adorns her cheeks with gold dust nearly every morning. Although she exercises tirelessly and wishes it were otherwise, she has barely any noticeable muscle definition and comes off as frail, though she is content to disprove her fragile appearance. Her father gifted her with deep black hair that shines purple in the right lighting. Her ears are slightly pointed at the ends, but hardly enough to notice unless one focuses in on them and catches her when she is not covering them with her hair or some sort of ornamentation. Besides the gold dust on her cheeks, she tends to avoid makeup, aside from darkening her lips to a dusky burgundy when the occasion calls for it. She leaves her eyes bare, as she is fond of their shape and color, a near copy of her mother’s wide golden eyes. Initially, Arko is reserved around acquaintances. Nonetheless, she cannot help but to be emotive in her facial expressions, especially when discussing a topic she feels deeply about. Though she tries, it is virtually impossible for her to truly deceive someone when in front of them. Scars & Markings: Having only just commenced her training in archery, along with her devotion to self-image, she has but two noticeable scars on her body. A tiny gash resides on the left side of her neck and a deeper mark crosses through the right side of her abdomen. She is hesitant to show these to others, though she admires those with scars, believing it indicates a sense of devotion to their cause and/or loved ones. From childhood, her family would paint golden dust onto her cheeks, so much so, that her cheeks remain slightly stained gold at all times. Voice: Arko possesses her mother’s resonant sing-song voice but with a deeper, slurred flow in her pronunciation. She has a subtle regionally Yanxian accent and dialect, but hyper-corrects it when meeting new people. Once she grows comfortable, her accent becomes apparent and her tone livens up and shifts to being more spirited and expressive. Clothing: Her manner of dress is typically overstated and formal, but never apparently so. Every piece she wears means something to her and she spends a great deal of time and attention on her clothing. One will often catch her in deep reds or greenish-blues accompanied by golden accents. Recently, she has been fortunate enough to travel to various cities across Hydaelyn and has adopted an extensive collection of fabrics and garments. Her wardrobe grows so rapidly, she is plagued by the paradox of storing such an extensive collection.
